First Light 

"First Light" is a realistic painting by Lucia Heffernan, showcasing a zebra in a striking pose. The animal is captured from behind, its distinctive black and white stripes filling the canvas with a dynamic pattern. The dramatic use of light and shadow highlights the intricate details of the zebra's coat, adding depth and realism to the piece. The dark background creates a sense of mystery and isolates the subject, drawing the viewer's attention to the zebra's powerful presence. Heffernan's mastery of realism and her choice of subject matter make this work an engaging and captivating piece.
